My savoury recipes are always so difficult to share. Generally because I’m not as confident with savoury as I am with sweet things but also because I just eye ball everything and cook according to our families taste and preference. Regardless, I wanted to share one of our family favourites . Spaghetti is just so much fun with kids! As much as there are times when I’m very much sick of dealing with the mess, for the most part I love watching the baby have the time of his life playing with his food! (Don’t worry I make sure he actually eats some of it too, and he loves it!)

There are literally thousands of Lentil Bolognese recipes online. I’m not claiming that mine is any better, but I have managed to simplify the process down a fair bit so that something that once took forever is now a quick and easy process. Plus the sauce freezes great!

This is a hearty veggie packed Bolognese that relies on lentils and mushrooms for protein . We always use wholewheat spaghetti except for the odd occasion where we sometimes use spelt. Wholewheat pasta is actually so much more nutritious than typical white pasta. It’s loaded with essential minerals, vitamins and 3 times more fibre than the white stuff so a lot less likely to leave you bloated ( less calories too). All in all the meal is super nutritious and the best comfort food! I generally serve it with my vegan Parmesan . I’ll link the recipe for the Parmesan here: http://hazelandcacao.com/vegan-parmesan-cheese/
